UNITE TAT-ES NELSON D. STANLEY, OF ESSEX JUNCTION, VERMONT.

TIRE-U PSETTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 352,431, dated November 9, 1886.

(No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NELsoN D. STANLEY, of Essex Junction, in the county of Ohittenden and State of Vermont, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tire-Upsetters, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 represents a side elevation of atireupsetter with my improvements attached. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section of the same. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on the line 00 m of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is anelevation of the rear of the machine. 7

My invention relates to that class of machines designed for the upsetting of metal; and it-consists in the arrangement and combination of devices hereinafter explained, and specifically pointed out in the claims.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe the manner in which I have carried it out.

In the drawings, A represents the framework to which the operative mechanism is attached. The benches a asupport the reversible table B, on which the tire or other metal is placed to be upset. This table has one side plain or smooth, while the other side is corrugated longitudinally to receive the bars of metal and to aid in retaining the heat in the same while being acted on. The table is held in position on the benches a a by means of the arm b, which fits snugly in an opening, Z), through the rear of the frame A, where it is securely held by the pin b.

Over the table 13 is placed the cam-shoe C, also corrugated longitudinally to correspond exactly with the corrugations in the table. This shoe is slotted at the point e to receive the lower point of the lever D, which in turn is pivoted to the frame A, at the point (1, as

shown in Fig. 2. The shoe is provided across its lower face with a steelholder, d, which, when the shoe is brought down by the lever E, holds the tire or other metal firmly in position while being upset. This holder fits snugly in the transverse slot across the face of the shoe, but can be readily removed by any smith, sharpened, and replaced at little expense, thus producing a great saving in the cost of cams. On the front of the cam-shoe is secured a grooved friction-roll, d, to save all friction in upsetting. The heated part of the tire isplaced between the roll and the steel on the shoe, thus preventing any kinking of the tire.

The upper portion 01 the lever D is slotted to receive the lower end of the lever E, and through this slot passes a bolt, 0, which serves 'as a fulcrum for the lever, the lever being provided on its lower face with two or more notches fitting over the bolt 6, the several notches rendering the power of the lever E adjustable.

On the opposite end of the frame A is a movable arm, F, pivoted at f, and connected to the other portion of the frame by a spring, G, as shown in Fig. i. The tendency of this spring is to throw the arm outward when the parts are in theirnormal position. When the arm is drawn in, as will be hereinafter explained, this spring is compressed. Then the jaw is released,the spring again forces it outward, as shown in Fig. 4.

To the arm F is rigidly secured the bench H, provided with an upwardly extending flange, between which and the jaw is pivoted the self-adjusting shoe h, as shown in Fig. 5. 8 Above this shoe is the lever I, pivoted to the frame A at the point t, and provided with a steel-holder,i,similar to the holder in the camshoe 0. This steelholder z" is caused to bear upon the shoe h, when the upper portion of the 85 lever I is drawn forward, by the lever E; and the heated portion of the iron or metal to be upset is closely and firmly clamped by the steel-holders d and i,while the arm F is caused to move toward the cam-shoe 0, thus upsetting the metal held between the table and the shoe. This movement of the arm F is produced-by the lever E, which is directly connected with the lever I by the links J, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

It is evident from this description of my invention that when thelever E is thrown back,

as shown in Fig. 2,the cam-shoe will beraised; and when the lever is thrown forward, as in Fig. 1, in order to draw in the movable arm F, the lever will also throw down the shoe 0, and cause the holder d to grip and hold the metal being treated,and at the same operation also, throw down the lower end of the lever I,

' lines in Fig. 1,) which,when notneeded, can

be readily removed by withdrawing the pins k k. This lever is attached to the same bearings on which the cams swing,and when thrown outward assists in forcing up the movable jaw and upsetting the metal.

The flat or smooth side of the reversible table is designed to be used for upsetting any straight piece of metal,whether flat, round, oval, or squarea very essential necessity in carriage work. The grooves in the corrugated side of the table should be made of different sizes, so as to avoid the kinking sidewise of round iron, or whatever way it may be used. The bed in the movable jaw is hung by a pin, so as to fit any circle or straight line needed to be'used in the machine.

In order to cut the metal, when necessary, before upsetting or otherwise, I attach the cutting-blades L L firmly to. the frame A and movable. arm F, as shown in Fig. 4, and adapted to have a shearing cut in severing a piece of metal by drawing in the movable jaw by means of the levers E and K.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a tire-upsetter, the frame A, table B, and shoe .0, in combination with the arm F and the levers D, E, and I, substantially as herein described.

2. The frame A, reversible table B, and shoe 0, provided with the holder d andfrictionroll (1, in combination with the pivoted arm]? and levers D, E, and I, substantially as herein described.

3. The frame A, table B, shoe 0, and levers D and E, in combination with the movable arm F, bench H, lever I, and connecting-links J, substantially as herein described.

4. The frame A, the table B, and the shoe 0, having the holder (1, in combination with the movable arm F, the bench H, having a self-adjusting shoe h, the lever I, having the holder i,and the levers Dand E, substantially as herein described.

5. The combination, with the frame A, the table B, and the shoe 0, of the movable arm F and the levers D, I, and K and connections, substantially as herein described.

6. The frame A, provided with the cuttingblade L, in combination with the movable arm F, having the cutting-blade L, the levers E and I, and the links J, substantially as herein described.

7. The'framc A and movable arm F, each provided with a cutting-blade, in combination with the spring G, the levers D, E, and I, and the links J, substantially as herein described.
